For Augustine says (De Qq. But it is not the same with any other glorified eye, because Christ's eye is under this sacrament, in which no other glorified eye is conformed to it. Some, however, tried to maintain that the intellect is united to the body as its motor; and hence that the intellect and body form one thing so that the act of the intellect could be attributed to the whole. But both of these consequences are clearly false: because "animal" is predicated of man essentially and not accidentally; and man is not part of the definition of an animal, but the other way about. Reply to Objection 4. Edus. Objection 1. But this link or union does not sufficiently explain the fact, that the act of the intellect is the act of Socrates. animal. For although it is essentially the same form which gives matter the various degrees of perfection, as we have said (Reply to Objection 1), yet it is considered as different when brought under the observation of reason. I answer that, After what we have said above (Article 1), it must be held most certainly that the whole Christ is under each sacramental species yet not alike in each. But the phantasm itself is not a form of the possible intellect; it is the intelligible species abstracted from the phantasm that is a form. Objection 2. Therefore we must presuppose accidents to be in matter before the substantial form; and therefore before the soul, since the soul is a substantial form. In Christ's Passion, of which this is the memorial, the other parts of the body were not separated from one another, as the blood was, but the body remained entire, according to Exodus 12:46: "You shall not break a bone thereof." Reply to Objection 2. Therefore we must say, in accordance with the Philosopher (De Gener. Objection 3. Therefore it is impossible that one individual intellectual soul should belong to several individuals. But our Lord said (John 6:56): "My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed." It is likewise clear that this is impossible if, according to the opinion of Aristotle (De Anima ii, 2), it is supposed that the intellect is a part or a power of the soul which is the form of man. Question. Question 76. As the Philosopher says (Phys. And therefore those accidents of Christ's body which are intrinsic to it are in this sacrament. Further, every form is determined according to the nature of the matter of which it is the form; otherwise no proportion would be required between matter and form. For Augustine says (Gen. ad lit. F. Raphael Moss, O.P., S.T.L. Objection 1. The dimensive quantity of Christ's body is in this sacrament not by way of commensuration, which is proper to quantity, and to which it belongs for the greater to be extended beyond the lesser; but in the way mentioned above (ad 1,2). The Commentator held that this union is through the intelligible species, as having a double subject, in the possible intellect, and in the phantasms which are in the corporeal organs. Therefore it seems to be united to the body by means of an incorruptible body, and such would be some heavenly light, which would harmonize the elements, and unite them together. Union of Soul and Body in Man 1. But a form which requires variety in the parts, such as a soul, and specially the soul of perfect animals, is not equally related to the whole and the parts: hence it is not divided accidentally when the whole is divided. Therefore it is impossible for there to be in man another substantial form besides the intellectual soul. But it is evident that the bread and wine cannot be changed either into the Godhead or into the soul of Christ. Thus the intellectual soul contains virtually whatever belongs to the sensitive soul of brute animals, and to the nutritive souls of plants. Therefore as matter is apprehended as perfected in its existence, before it is understood as corporeal, and so on; so those accidents which belong to existence are understood to exist before corporeity; and thus dispositions are understood in matter before the form, not as regards all its effects, but as regards the subsequent effect. For an immaterial substance is not multiplied in number within one species. On the contrary, it is impossible for the same thing to be in motion and at rest, else contradictories would be verified of the same subject. Q.76: The Union of the Soul with the Body: Q. Reply to Objection 1. Whence it follows that elements in the mixed body would be distinct as to situation. Last updated by jill d #170087 5 months ago 1/31/2022 5:23 AM. But the intellectual soul is united by its very being to the body as a form; and yet it guides and moves the body by its power and virtue. Therefore, from the fact that the species of phantasms are in the possible intellect, it does not follow that Socrates, in whom are the phantasms, understands, but that he or his phantasms are understood. ii, 1) that the relation of a part of the soul to a part of the body, such as the sight to the pupil of the eye, is the same as the relation of the soul to the whole body of an animal. For this reason we observe that there is a greater variety of parts in perfect than in imperfect animals; and in these a greater variety than in plants. Now all this is fictious and ridiculous: for light is not a body; and the fifth essence does not enter materially into the composition of a mixed body (since it is unchangeable), but only virtually: and lastly, because the soul is immediately united to the body as the form to matter. Averroes maintained that the forms of elements, by reason of their imperfection, are a medium between accidental and substantial forms, and so can be "more" or "less"; and therefore in the mixture they are modified and reduced to an average, so that one form emerges from them. Secondly, it is in keeping with the use of this sacrament, that Christ's body be shown apart to the faithful as food, and the blood as drink. Further, wherever Christ's body is, it is there either under its own species, or under those of the sacrament. 1 - The Nature and Extent of Sacred Doctrine (Ten Articles) Treatise on The One God (QQ [2-26]) Treatise on The One God (QQ [2-26]) Question. This is the demonstration used by Aristotle (De Anima ii, 2). Everything has unity in the same way that it has being; consequently we must judge of the multiplicity of a thing as we judge of its being. For it involves nothing unreasonable that the same movable thing be moved by several motors; and still less if it be moved according to its various parts. If, on the contrary, we suppose one instrument and several principal agents, we might say that there are several agents, but one act; for example, if there be many drawing a ship by means of a rope; there will be many drawing, but one pull. Therefore the soul should be united to a most subtle body, to fire, for instance, and not to a mixed body, still less to a terrestrial body. But all men are of one species. But what is not in a place, is not moved of itself locally, but only according to the motion of the subject in which it is. Reply to Objection 2. As stated above (Article 4), the accidents of Christ's body are in this sacrament by real concomitance. But the organ of touch requires to be a medium between contraries, such as hot and cold, wet and dry, and the like, of which the sense of touch has the perception; thus it is in potentiality with regard to contraries, and is able to perceive them. Therefore the breath, which is a subtle body, is the means of union between soul and body. Further, the Philosopher says (De Anima. Therefore we must suppose dimensions in matter before the substantial forms, which are many belonging to one species. 76: Malediction: Q. Therefore Christ's body is in this sacrament as in a place. From this it is clear how to answer the Second and Third objections: since, in order that man may be able to understand all things by means of his intellect, and that his intellect may understand immaterial things and universals, it is sufficient that the intellectual power be not the act of the body. For the proper qualities of the elements remain, though modified; and in them is the power of the elementary forms. i, 10), that the forms of the elements remain in the mixed body, not actually but virtually. For this reason, the old natural philosophers, who held that primary matter was some actual beingfor instance, fire or air, or something of that sortmaintained that nothing is generated simply, or corrupted simply; and stated that "every becoming is nothing but an alteration," as we read, Phys. But it is impossible that a soul, one in species, should belong to animals of different species. Therefore, for like reason, the glorified eye can see Christ as He is in this sacrament. The Summa Theologi of St. Thomas AquinasSecond and Revised Edition, 1920Literally translated by Fathers of the English Dominican ProvinceOnline Edition Copyright 2017 by Kevin Knight Nihil Obstat. vii, 3), compares the species of things to numbers, which differ in species by the addition or subtraction of unity. By the power of the sacrament the dimensive quantity of Christ's body is not in this sacrament; for, by the power of the sacrament that is present in this sacrament, whereat the conversion is terminated. And since in this way no change is made in the sacrament, it is manifest that, when such apparition occurs, Christ does not cease to be under this sacrament. 77: Fraud in Buying and Selling: Q. Now everything that moves itself is divided into two parts, of which one moves, and the other is moved, as the Philosopher proves (Phys. The embryo has first of all a soul which is merely sensitive, and when this is removed, it is supplanted by a more perfect soul, which is both sensitive and intellectual: as will be shown further on (I:118:2 ad 2). Therefore we answer otherwise by observing that in matter two conditions are to be found; one which is chosen in order that the matter be suitable to the form; the other which follows by force of the first disposition. Objection 1. Reply to Objection 1. But each part of the human body is not an organic body. Objection 1. Christ's body is not in this sacrament definitively, because then it would be only on the particular altar where this sacrament is performed: whereas it is in heaven under its own species, and on many other altars under the sacramental species. Reply to Objection 3. Nor is there any other cause of union except the agent, which causes matter to be in act, as the Philosopher says, Metaph. On the contrary, The gloss on 1 Corinthians 11:25, commenting on the word "Chalice," says that "under each species," namely, of the bread and wine, "the same is received"; and thus it seems that Christ is entire under each species. Therefore the body or the blood of Christ is not under those species. Now the first among all acts is existence. 2 - The Existence of God (Three Articles) Question. Canonicus Surmont, Vicarius Generalis. Westmonasterii.APPROBATIO ORDINISNihil Obstat. Therefore it is not properly united to a corruptible body. If, therefore, the whole soul is in each part of the body, it follows that each part of the body is an animal. As stated above, during such apparitions Christ's proper semblance is not seen, but a species miraculously formed either in the eyes of the beholders, or in the sacramental dimensions themselves, as was said above. Answers: 1. Objection 2. Therefore the intellectual soul may be compared to the body animated by a sensitive soul, as form to matter. Reply to Objection 5. Whereas the act of intellect remains in the agent, and does not pass into something else, as does the action of heating. Further, if it be said that the sensitive soul in man is incorruptible; on the contrary, "corruptible and incorruptible differ generically," says the Philosopher, Metaph. Reply to Objection 4. Translated by. The First Part addresses God, gradually working its way through God's creation and the angels to man. . Hence in no way is Christ's body locally in this sacrament. A spiritual substance which is united to a body as its motor only, is united thereto by power or virtue. But if we mean totality of species and essence, then the whole whiteness is in each part of a surface. Objection 2. Evang. Fathers of the English Dominican Province. For since the Godhead never set aside the assumed body, wherever the body of Christ is, there, of necessity, must the Godhead be; and therefore it is necessary for the Godhead to be in this sacrament concomitantly with His body. But substance, as such, is not visible to the bodily eye, nor does it come under any one of the senses, nor under the imagination, but solely under the intellect, whose object is "what a thing is" (De Anima iii). 1 First Part. I answer that, The eye is of two kinds, namely, the bodily eye properly so-called, and the intellectual eye, so-called by similitude. But the angels see the body of Christ as it is in this sacrament, for even the devils are found to pay reverence thereto, and to fear it. Nor is it less impossible for anything to be a medium between substance and accident. On the contrary, As long as a thing remains the same, it cannot at the same time be seen by the same eye under diverse species. Now it is clear that because the colors, the images of which are in the sight, are on a wall, the action of seeing is not attributed to the wall: for we do not say that the wall sees, but rather that it is seen. But the soul is the substantial form of man.
